Looking to add some friends, especially other big guys
I've just gotten back to MFP and I'm looking to rebuild my friend list. I started MFP at 315 or so pounds. I dropped down to 262 before a house fire set me back. All the stress and disruption of my routine caused me to gain 40lbs back. I'm starting fresh again and I would especially like to add some other guys with around…

Looking to restart
So, I joined a couple of years ago and everything was going great. I had lost almost 50lbs before hitting a snag. I had a house fire and pretty much lost everything. The stress and depression set in and I erased pretty much all of what I lost. I finally have everything back to normal, and I'm looking to start fresh again.…

Opinions on home strength training routine...
So, I really haven't lifted weights much since high school. I'm trying to put together my own home weight lifting routine and was hoping to get some opinions on what I might want to add/change.

I've really never thought of it before, so I did a bunch of research on it yesterday to try to separate fact from fiction. Like many other debates on nutrition and fitness, it seems there…

It has been a difficult for me to add the food because I've never been a big eater. I've pretty much reached the weight I am now due to calorie dense junk foods and lots of sodas. By…

Need some help from the Veggie people
Okay. So, I have never gone one single day without eating meat. I have rarely done a single meal without it. Since I'm nearing the halfway point of my weight loss, I want to mix things up and challenge myself for a week. So, I'm going to have a complete week without meat. So in addition to my meat-eating habits, I have the…

To eat or not to eat...
Okay, so I've never exercised much. I am looking to lose over 100lbs, so I have a large calorie intake currently of 1950 calories due to my size. So, here is my problem. I've began doing walks every day. Today , I did a 5 mile walk as well as some exercises on the Wii Fit. For today, I have only taken in a net of 580…

Hello
I came across the myfitnesspal app a week ago and just discovered it had an actual website well. So, I thought I would just drop in and introduce myself and say "Hello". I'm a 37 year old father of 4 kids (ages 12, 10, 5, and 2). I work about 10 hours a day, and with all this extra weight I've gained, I've had a hard time…
